GLOOM

 GLOOM

Gloom is inside or outside?

Outside it's raining, dark, cloudy, drizzling, weeping, cursing the sun

Inside is quiet, boring, you can call it peaceful, dull, dark, quiet, deadly

You would rather be outside or inside?

What a question!

Why would I be anywhere?


Wait for the rain stop

And?

Then go out

Out?

Where?

Somewhere...

Where?

Lunch

Not hungry

Did you eat lunch?

I don't eat lunch

Do

Did you have breakfast?

Tea

What about breakfast?

Not yet

What are you waiting for?

Excitement

Thats not coming, eat something

Who told you that the excitement is not coming?

Look around you, look out side, look inside...is there any hope of excitement coming?

Then what's coming?

Nothing is coming

That's gloomy

Yes, gloom is coming

I thought that the glom was outside?

Yes, but now it's coming inside

Why?

Things which are outside need to come in...

It's cold, dark and gloomy outside

And inside?

Don't be worrying, have patience, soon you will have company

Oh! people are coming in?

People?

Yes, people

Which people?

Just people...

People are having lunch somewhere

Where?

Somewhere

In the rain?

No, inside

Inside where?

Oh! please. where do people have lunch usually?

Some lousy greasy spoon filled with gloom

No way, people pay 45 dollars for two eggs and a deadly slice of limp white bread

You might as well welcom gloom from outside to come in and?

And?

And make him a cup of tea

Gloom is a man?

Yup...he took all the power of the sun and the moon and the rain and your money...

Why would i welcome him then?

Because, because, because, you have nothing else to do...

I can't go out, I don't have William Scot's walking stick...

My favorite place for breakfast is very far and it's rainy and gloomy outside

And I don't have a walking stick...

Would you have gloom or the walking stick?

Walking stick

Then you will go out?

Yes

And?

And what?

You will fall down in the slush and mud and broken side walks with dogs coming to get you

and you will fall and get hurt or even die...

Oh!

Yes, oh!

So what should I do?

Stay in, stay safe, let gloom come in...at least you won't be alone and you will still be alive

Does gloom keep you alive?

Of course, every day, every day, day after day, day after day...

You must be thankful to  gloom for being inside the room and not dead outside near the wet rats...

Oh! gee, you are so gloomy

Look outside, look inside, look around you...

Only source of being alive is gloom...

Did you get it sweetheart? get up and have breakfast...
